Book Gifts for Kids

As a former reading teacher, there’s no better gift in my mind than encouraging kids to be readers. Books make wonderful presents for readers of all ages, but sometimes it’s hard to pick out just the right book, or maybe you don’t know a reader’s taste very well.

These book gifts for kids are just the solution!

Here are a few gift ideas that will make it a little easier for the young readers in your life to cozy up with a good book.

Book Gift Subscriptions for Kids

My kids have a subscription to this service through school so you might check with your district to see if you already have access. Readers can select from hundreds of fiction and non-fiction titles which can be read to them or they can read independently. There are comprehension questions at the end and kids earn points for completing each book.

Perfect for kid who want to experience books on their own or for the whole family. With an Audible subscription you can pick the books you really want to listen to and take them with you on the go. Our family loves audiobooks for long trips in the car or even at dinner. They are a magical elixir of quiet in our house and save the day when we all just need to sit quietly for a few minutes.

We’ve had several subscriptions to the various Cricket magazines and all are lovely quality with fun stories and adorable illustrations. When my son was really little we got the Baby Bug magazine which has really durable coated pages so even little ones can look through it without destroying it. Now we’re on to Ladybug magazine and my 5-year-old is always thrilled to get this each month. Makes a great gift for any kid and there really is a magazine for every age and interest.
